Adi Shamir gave a talk at MIT last week at which I think he said that the

XOR Key / Permutation / XOR Key
He seemed to me to imply that (informally speaking) any additional complexity
would be more likely to provide attack opportunities than not.
Perhaps anybody else that was there or is familiar with Shamir's work along
this line might comment.
Hard to say what he was talking about without some context, but it sounds
like he might (?) have been referring to DES-X:
